Sheepdog Handlers

Aled Owen

A hill farmer close to the Snowdonia National Park, Aled is a master in the art of sheepdog handling and has now opened ‘Ewe’phoria’, an entertainment and educational centre which has been voted one of the top 50 UK Tourist Attractions by the Independent on Sunday and been featured in TV programmes such as Bargain Hunt and Holiday 2004.

Aled has represented Wales at International level no fewer than 22 times and has won the Supreme title twice (being the first handler to defend the title with two different dogs since 1912).

His numerous outstanding wins include:

  • World Sheepdog Trials 2002 and 2008
  • International Sheepdog Society Supreme Champion 1999 (with Roy) and 2000 (with Bob)
  • 7 times winner of Welsh Open Championship
  • 8 times winner of North Wales Sheepdog Society Open Championship
  • Winner of BBC TV ‘One Man and His Dog’ doubles title
  • 3 times winner of Welsh National Championship
  • 5 times Welsh Aggregate Champion

As if working and trialling his own dogs wasn’t enough, Aled is passing his wealth of expertise and experience on to others by judging competitions plus holding training clinics and tutorials at home and abroad, including America, all over Europe and Scandinavia. The training courses are suitable for people who want to compete in trials or those who want to train their dogs for day to day work on their farms.

The success of Aled’s dogs listed below show his talent in both breeding sheepdogs and having an eye for selecting a good working dog. Bob and Gwyn (ISDS 248002) are available at stud and as A.I. semen.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help, advice and great products. I have spent over a year struggling to keep weight on my very active rescued working sheepdog using a variety of expensive well known brands and numerous supplements from the vets. Not only have none of these worked but my dog didn't like the taste.

From the initial call with recommendations on what to try (it lasted over 30 minutes) and the free samples I have been amazed with CSJ. Barney has now been on CP21 Salmon for nearly 6 months and is a different dog. He has put on and is holding his weight; he no longer has a constantly upset stomach and he loves his food!

We also recently rescued another working sheepdog. Straight away we put her on the same CSJ food and again to dramatic effects. As well as the obvious health and dietary benefits we are constantly being stopped and asked what they are fed, both of their coats are amazing. I have no hesitation recommending CSJ to my friends, many of whom can't get over the improvements in the two dogs, especially when I tell them the cost!
